Sexagenarian detective Shammi Auntie and her niece Anya Malhotra have been roped into solving yet another case for inept Bangalore police. This one involves a cult, an ex, a godman, a serial killer, and most likely a cannibal—if the half-eaten organs are anything to go by—but do they all point to the same person? A whirl of gore, humor, lust, amnesia, filter coffee and dead bodies, Swipe Right to Die delivers an edge-of-the-seat murder mystery set in the leafy, shady streets of Bangalore.
